hi I have a leak on what looks like the egr cooler hose between rad fan and engine 03 reg td6 I can see the jubilee clip but how on earth do you get to it !! regards

Hi marks just done my o ring on the egr cooler and you have to remove the viscous fan and cowling then the front engine cover to get egr cooler

Interestingly, a couple of months ago I replaced the egr cooler and the offending hose jubilee clip by simply removing the front top engine cover. It is a bit compact but it can be done without a lot of dismantling. I used a small ratchet and socket on the jubilee clip.

ok thanks

thanks will give it a go or two bottles of kseal !!

You can scrap the whole egr assy including the cooler by fitting an egr delete unit, blank for the exhaust manifold and 2x hose blank off's which I think are 15mm bore 2007 TDV8 VSE

Do you need to have the ecu remapped if the egr is removed?

On a TD6 no, just plug the vacuum hose. The best thing you will do for your car, the engine will love you for it 2007 TDV8 VSE

I could do with changing my thermostat so whilst in that area I may as well do the EGR delete as well I suppose.

Mine is gone I took it out at the beginning of the year

Are you running with no viscous fan as well?

I think I spy the thermostat housing from your pic

Yes I took the fan off there are a few people on here that run without it seems fine

Tempted to loose mine as well tbh. The noise it generates is horrendous.

Problem with my car is it over cools.

Now winter is here, the temp gauge never reaches the halfway mark unless you're nailing it up a hill then the centrifugal fan kicks in and cools it right back down again!

They have electric fans as a back up anyway don't they,

its had the egr by pass and a re map it pulls like a train going to look at the bungs like you said thanks

@ Paul thorton

You have a thermostat problem - main and probably the EGR stat too.

A TD6 should reach operating temperature and stay there. .
